Awesome. Developers diary, why not.

Hey! What's the most optimum way of drawing characters?

Say I have this:

Code: Select all

npc = {alert = false, img = {still, attack}}

As fast as the npc turns alert (within some random vector distance) he changes appearance.

This question of course just applies to unanimates till images but, in the love.draw function, should there just be a current_image_state that is drawn and then I program what that image should be in the love.update function? Basically, this is my question.
